Oh no, John thought when he heard the pleasant but worried voice coming from out in the hall.
"¿Señor... Gruu-berr...? ¿Está bién? ¿Qué pasó?"
Damn. It's that new maid Irena he'd hired like two days ago. She was from El Salvador or somewhere, didn't know a word of English. His wife must have sent her to check on him when that loud bang rang out from the door breaking!
That's the last thing I need--he thought--somebody else mixed up in this.
Elena gasped when she saw John with his ripped shirt and lightly bleeding shoulder, plus the door all cracked and bent.
"¡La puerta! ¡Su arm! Are you okay, sir? Let me get some bandages and I'll ..." her voice trailed off and she held her arms up to her face, suddenly surprised by some strange feelings coming from her hands.
John saw that she was about to screen as she looked at her new paws, so he reached over and grabbed her tightly around the face. He did NOT want his wife running in here seeing all this, and he was hoping she would trust the maid and stay over there with the kid for just a few minutes longer at least.
"It's okay, Elena, just stay quiet and let this pass. I will try to explain everything. I'm pretty sure I can fix it. Take some deep breaths. Please don't scream."
He gradually let go of her. She was flushed and breathing hard watching the white fur spread up her arms and transition into a bluish gray. She felt the fur grow all over her body. She was terrified and wanted to look at herself but she didn't dare take her clothes off in front of her boss! She wanted to scream, but she reasoned that if Mr. Gruber could do this, then he could probably also kill her if she didn't do as he asked. She'd only known him for two days, after all. She had no idea that this was all a big accident and that John was just as surprised as she was.
Finally she had to take her clothes when her tail started to grow in. They already didn't fit right anymore. She was shrinking to the size of a husky and her legs were very much the wrong shape for her human attire. She gasped when she found herself on all fours. Her pointed ears started to flick around as the sounds around her growing clearer and more distinct. Her muzzle pushed out and she smelled the three Irish setters in the room with her. She was surprised by this, as she thought the Gruber's tenant had only one dog. Her moment of confusion about the number of pets, of course, was quickly overshadowed by more pressing question as to WHY THE FUCK SHE WAS A DOG!
Before she had time to ask about this, though, she felt a strange feeling in her loins and tried to look back there. Two fleshy sacks were forming between her hind legs, one which was obviously a scrotum and the other which was housing another her developing penis. Elena gasped again and then fainted.
The change washed over the three Irish Setters who became huskies. Then the chaos really started.
